Blazor, to me, feels like WebForms/UpdatePanel. WebForms/UpdatePanel was a half-baked solution to pick-up and drop-in .NET developers from WinForms to the web, while Blazor seems to do the same thing for server-side and client-side developers. Microsoft eventually created MVC, which embraced the nature of the web (HTTP verbs, no viewstate, etc). I would urge developers to just dump into the deep end and use tech native to the browser. I know wasm is now native, but Blazor is running a VM in it that wasn't designed for it. C# developers might find some comfort in TypeScript. Maybe Angular?
